The Neo cooking pots from BergHOFF are exhibited at the “World Best Design Exchange” section of Design Korea. With more than 120,000 visitors and buyers from around the globe, Design Korea is one of Asia’s most influential design events.

Heusden-Zolder, December 2009 – When the Neo cooking pots were first introduced, the sophisticated design from Frederik Aerts obtained immediate success on an international level. Their high functional and aesthetic value charmed cooking fanatics as well as international design experts. Since BergHOFF’s Neo cooking pots were granted international awards like the Good Design Award, the Red Dot Design Award, the Henry van de Velde Award and a “Design Preis Deutschland” nomination, the 18/10 stainless steel range can be admired at this year’s edition of Design Korea in a “best of class” showcase.

The cooking pots are exhibited as an example of the latest design trends. They also offer visitors an insight on how function and aesthetics are united since the integration of the handles of the pot and lid immediately catch the eye. A simple twist of the lid slides the handles over those of the pot, turning the 2 individual parts into one aesthetic whole. The functional strength now is unveiled too: the pouring rim opens and the handles of cover and body now allow safe and comfortable pouring.

Except for the cooking pots, the Neo range consists of skillets, a wok, several utensils like turners, canisters, an award-winning knife set, flatware and porcelain.
